I am trying to do something or other with these plants against the blue backdrop. This is my latest attempt. I am not there yet! Don't think the light was helpful today.

A mid-winter low tide at dawn produced some nice colour at Grice Bay in Pacific Rim National Park.

. . . Makes for an interesting, much needed evening walk.

In 1965, Krinos opened its doors in Montreal, Quebec. Soon after it expanded in Concord, Ontario. Family owned and operated for over 50 years, Krinos is now one of the largest manufacturers, importers and distributors of premium Greek foods in Canada. Last year, they opened a 30,000 sq.ft. state-of-the-art facility in Delta (a city in the Metro Vancouver Regional District).

 

Also last year, they were a sponsor of the annual Greek Day on Broadway in Vancouver. It was a milestone year, celebrating 50 years of culture and community, and the event attracted more than 100,000 people.

"Secret Life of Birds" Backyard Bird Watcher - Goldfinch - February 2008.

Frozen solid water with snow drifts along the shore.

Not a bird in sight yesterday afternoon at Parc des Rapides.

My hands were searing in pain.

Hopefully, will try again today :O

Testing the new 11-16mm Tokina. I like it.

Suppose the card came tomorrow; how would I act then? I wouldn’t tell a soul at first but retire to the quietest spot in the house, withdraw into myself and gather what strength I could from every cranny of my body and soul. I would have my hair cut short and throw my lipstick away. I would try to finish reading the Rilke letters before the week was out. And I’d have a pair of trousers and a jacket made out of that heavy winter coat material I’ve got left over. I would try to see my parents of course and do my best to reassure them, and every spare minute I would want to write to him, to the man I shall always long for … In a few days’ time I shall go to the dentist and have lots and lots of holes in my teeth filled. For that really would be awful: suffering from toothache out there. I shall try to get hold of a rucksack and pack only what is absolutely essential, though everything must be of good quality. I shall take a Bible along and that slim volume Letters to a Young Poet, and surely I’ll be able to find some corner for the Book of Hours. I won’t take along any photographs of those I love; I’ll just take all the faces and familiar gestures I have collected and hang them up along the walls of my inner space so that they will always be with me. And these two hands will go along with me, their expressive fingers like strong young twigs. And these hands will keep protecting me in prayer and will not leave me till the end. And these dark eyes will go with me, with their benign gentle, questing look.

Back out there again in 2022

A small clump of snowdrops in amongst many other clumps to form a near continuous carpet of white in the woodland at Hodsock Priory in Nottinghamshire. Each February the gardens and woodland around the priory are opened for people to wander round the tens of thousands, nay millions of tiny white flowers. Getting down low to photograph these is a must - if your joints can take the getting up again afterwards.

there's even more water in The Bourne Gutter than there was a couple of weeks ago. It seems that half the town was out viewing the waters, but luckily not so many as to make photography a challenge
